The best moment I’ve experienced with my company so far…

Being able to see the store through my son’s eyes. Sitting in his nursery and seeing all the fun toys that I’ve picked out — I feel like I’m getting to enjoy the fruits of my labor and seeing everything that I’ve built. Becoming a mom after six-plus years of the store, it’s a lot of fun; it’s that much sweeter.

What my neighborhood means to me…

The reason I chose the Chinatown-Little Italy area — or “Little Chitaly” — is because I have roots in the neighborhood. My grandfather grew up on Elizabeth Street and owned a bakery nearby. Going back to my husband and myself, my husband is Chinese-American and I am Italian-American. The block that we’re on, it’s where Chinatown and Little Italy meet — and that’s our family.
